OVERVIEW
Elixir Opus
Personalization at the speed of communication.
With Opus, you can combine your business rules with your data to produce high-volume print and Web documents – with dynamic personalization. With this capability, you can more easily execute TransPromo marketing campaigns.
TransPromo, which pairs statements with promotions, can help you achieve measurable results. As a direct marketing tactic, it targets the individual. And as regulated documents, TransPromo can deliver customized material printed on demand or delivered via the Web in real time.
Opus is the rapid application development and production tool for high-volume, personalized document publishing. Each Opus document is dynamically formatted using variable data based on business rules set in the design. Any element, including text, graphics, finishing options and production methods, can be dynamic. The Opus designer can bring the power of variable application design to the desktop of any user familiar with Microsoft Windows®.

CAPABILITIES
Elixir Opus
Personalization at the speed of communication.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Platform Independent Applications | Opus allows designers to create applications once and output them to any major printer or presentation format, including AFPDS, Xerox Metacode, PostScript, HP-PCL, PDF or e-mail. |
| Integrated Form Design and Data Layout | Visually create static or dynamic forms and specify exactly how form and data elements are integrated and printed. The Document Designer provides tools for drawing, aligning columnar data, specifying line spacing and typographic controls, word wrapping, justifying paragraphs, importing graphics and signatures, inserting barcodes, and adding highlight, full and accent color. |
| Data Definer | Display and define the records and fields in a data file. Designers can store these definitions in a data dictionary and specify exactly how variable data is interpreted when a document is built. |
| Powerful Conditional Logic | Control document layout and messaging based on customer data. No scripting is required. |
| Document Formatter | Produce a fully composed datastream for any major printer or presentation format, including AFPDS, Xerox Metacode, PostScript, HP-PCL and PDF. Although formatting speed depends on the application, a single Opus formatter is capable of merging pages with variable data at speeds in excess of 4,000 pages per minute. |
| Volume Parallel Processing | Throughput can be matched to volume requirements by adding more formatters and CPUs to the system. The data can be automatically split across multiple formatters for parallel processing. After formatting, the print stream can be re-combined before data is sent to the printer. |
| Data Merging Capabilities | Close white space around variable data items, merge data onto multiple forms, overflow data onto consecutive or non-consecutive pages, and control all aspects of data appearance. |
| Web Presentment | With Opus WebService, the same Opus design template that is used for production can be used to generate and present online a PDF on demand from an authenticated user's Web request. |
